had in his possession an autograph epstle OF Fred
Of the present crown prince, Frederick William
when he was In command OF the 18th infantry regi-
ment, and he communicated it to his father, who
was then prince regent or Prussia
The Prussian royal house were anxious to pos
sess the original, and Herr Baer sent It to the
prince regent, with the request that his royal hg
ness should write him one In exchange for it, In
reply TO this request the following letter was
written:
81 have been told, dear Herr Baer, that for the
autograph letter OF the great king you wish TO pos
s Sne IN my aI aSe gladly give effect
est inasmuch as IL throws light on the great kings
stirring youth. For thing so precious what you
gladly write TO you. IL is impossible 10 me- as to
any other prince, 10 govern peter than Frederick
H. put VIII be vain enough TO call your attention
10 the fact that can write little better than he
dld. Your gift and your wish have a further de-
cided merit In my view, since both spring from
noble feenng, which, thank God, has never been
rare with US, and to which we owe our honorable
position In the world; though sometimes we see IL
ss heart In presence OF the tickle struggles OF am
otion strengthen In your midst this generous
patriotic feeling In which, dear Herr Baer your
city OF Breslau Is so rich.
WILHELM, Prince Regent of Prussia"
